Day 2 practice starts at 330. As usual, I'll be posting updates here & tweets at @CalRivals.
I'm expecting another helmets & shorts session today, per NCAA regs... And indeed it's helmets & shorts.
It's cloudy & drizzly at Memorial at the moment, but it isn't affecting the team at all. Offense just completed positional warmups a few minutes ago, and is currently going thru walkthroughs (11 vs 0 & 11 vs ghosts).
Note: McCrary intially warmed up with the insider receiver group to begin practice. I'd imagine he'll get reps at H/slot, as well as the "F" position - per Sonny's Monday comments (also, apparently there's no "Bone" in Spavital's system).
QB rotation for now [no surprises]: Forrest Bowers Rubenzer Gilliam Kline
OL [roughly]: Cochran Borrayo Ooms Uluave Moore / Johnson Palmer Granado Wallace Bennett
Scheme tidbit: Spavital's system is a different "flavor" of Air Raid than Franklin's. I'm already seeing during this walkthru period, new formations & plays that we haven't seen in the past. It also appears that we'll be running the ball - this is clearly NOT a spray-and-pray Pirate Leach offense. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to go into any more detail than that.
